Eli Lilly Prepares Global Launch of Weight Loss Pill Following Successful Clinical Trial
Eli Lilly (LLY) is advancing toward regulatory approval for its oral weight loss medication after positive Phase III trial results showed 10.5% average weight reduction. The Indianapolis-based pharma giant plans a mid-2026 global rollout following FDA clearance, positioning the pill as a more accessible alternative to injectable Zepbound.
The obesity treatment market, projected to reach $150 billion by 2030, could see significant disruption from this development. Trial data demonstrated the dual efficacy of Lilly's compound, with participants achieving meaningful weight loss while managing Type 2 diabetes symptoms.
